Gibraltar 34261SS Knob Handle Plunger 1/2-13 Stainless Steel

Product Description

The GIBRALTAR 34261SS is a non-locking knob handle plunger with a threaded stud body, designed for use in indexing, positioning, and locating applications in industrial and mechanical assemblies. The plunger features a 1/2-13 thread size with a thread length of 0.875 inches and a body length of 1.125 inches. Spring end force ranges from an initial 1.25 pounds to a final 5 pounds, providing consistent spring-loaded positioning pressure. The maximum plunger diameter is 0.31 inches with a plunger projection of 0.25 inches. Constructed from stainless steel with a zinc-plated finish, this part is suited for corrosion-resistant applications. Installation is performed by maintenance technicians, machinists, and mechanical assemblers.

The GIBRALTAR 34261SS is used in mechanical assemblies requiring spring-loaded plunger positioning, including jigs, fixtures, panels, and enclosures. The knobless threaded stud configuration allows flush or recessed mounting where an external knob is not required or desired. Typical install scenarios include OEM equipment panels, machine tool fixtures, and enclosure latching mechanisms. The stud thread size of 3/8-16 accommodates standard tapped hole mounting. This part is sold individually with a minimum order quantity of one.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by machinists or mechanical assemblers using standard hand tools. Ensure the mating tapped hole matches the 1/2-13 thread specification before installation. Disengage or de-energize any associated equipment before servicing or replacing spring plunger components. Do not exceed the rated final end force when compressing the plunger, as over-compression may damage the internal spring.
